   basically in the early hours of sat morning someone slashed my tyres, not one all four, i went to my local garage that do everything, the guys down there always do a top job but fitting my new tyres they did this to my wheels, look around the inside of the rim it wasnt there before and its not the white lubrication they use :/
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   what should i do should i confront them about it and risk causing arguments or what ?

   You should comfront them.
   I had some work done on my tyres and wheels and had them re-balanced and tracked by Just Tyres < and found that they didnt track them properly.
   I had them re-tracked by another company who told me they been tracked wrong. Had a cover note and recipt from the people who re-done the job to comfront Just Tyres and i got my money back. Its worth comfronting about it Trust! and if you go about it the right way it doesnt normally end up in a argument. : )

   You paint the wheels with the tyres still on?...
   Different bead, will expose more of the rim, i.e the part you never painted!
   
   If it was a shit paint job, then its flaked off.
   A tyre machine wouldnt pull paint off the inside of a wheel. Scratch the outsided, about 1cm from the lip, yes... Anything else, no.

   it looks like the edge of masking on the wheels, not that it's been taken off by a tyre machine
